Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

I haul that stuff all day everyday and twice on sunday. Its not the banded dunnage. Its either poor securement, (but i see several bellys, and 2, 2 inch bellys are plenty good on pvc) or he cornered to hard. I crank down as hard as i can on pvc, and it doesn't do that. Actually im more interested in the missing vertical dunnage on the bottom pallet of 4inch. Either he lost it when the load shifted which is unlikely, as the banding is still there, or it was never there and the loader put a unstable pallet as a base and put this guy in a lerch due to his inexperience. (Him not knowing this would happen.) I wouldn't put any pallet with broken or missing vert, dunnage anywhere but on top. I think a combination of all....

 

I think the rear dunnage walked on him. He did belly wrap, but it looks as if he tightened all from the from the driver side. It would have given him better stability to tighten the belly wraps on the passenger side and the mains from the driver side.

The absolute amazing thing is he didn't lose the load. Hats off to this driver.

 

What do you mean by walked on him? The only dunnage i see is the dunnage that is straped directly to the pipe. I agree he should have cross strapped it though

 

The rear bottom one is missing. It had to have walked.

 

My mistake. I was looking at the picture backwards. It's the bottom front that's missing.

 

I cant see the 5th band on the bottom pallet, but i count at least 4. Charlotte puts 5 plastic bands on 20 foot pipe, fore, mid, and aft have wood on all 4 sides, the 2 in center, only straps. You can see the pipe is off deck in front, so the under side dunnage is still there. He may have broke the back band, but it doesn't explain the missing fore vertical dunnage. They break, but dont come out without the band breaking. At least 90 percent of the time

 

The dunnage has channels cut in it. It doesn't walk

 

This one did.

 

No it didn't. Look at the deck, 3 sticks in. The pipe is off deck by 2 inchs. Look at the next pallet up. See how the vert dunnage is cracked but there? Thats what happens, the strap for the fore dunnage is still there, but the vertical dunnage is missing fore and aft, i have rolled a pallet off a fork and broken all 12 sticks of dunnage, but they stayed strapped in, deformed the pallet, but stayed put. Its hard to get the dunnage out without breaking a band. Thats why im confused by that pallet...

 

Here's the wrecker
